Although moles are usually harmless, they can turn into the most dangerous form of skin cancer: melanoma.
Melanoma develops when cellular DNA is damaged by exposure to ultraviolet light from natural sunlight and tanning beds. As a result, the cells grow rapidly, creating a cluster that turns a normal mole into melanoma.
Melanoma is curable when treated early, but it quickly spreads to other parts of your body. Once it spreads, it’s hard to treat and is often fatal.
Dr. Fakhouri performs head-to-toe skin cancer screening, examining every skin lesion and checking every mole for signs of abnormal changes. If he detects any changes, he immediately removes the mole and checks it for signs of cancer.
Dr. Fakhouri performs mole removal using several techniques, which are all quick procedures that leave little to no scarring. After removing a mole, he looks at it under a microscope, checking for signs of cancer.
When Dr. Fakhouri discovers cancerous changes, he removes enough tissue around the mole to eliminate all cancerous cells. However, if he finds evidence of advanced melanoma, the team at Skin Cancer Specialists help you get connected with the experts you need for treatment.
Melanoma is treatable when detected early. Protect your health with a whole-body skin cancer screening at Skin Cancer Specialists. To schedule an appointment, call the office, or use the online booking feature.
